UK People With Epilepsy - Perception & Portrayal Documentary

Making a documentary about epilepsy Hi everyone - I'm a radio documentary producer (with epilepsy!) and I'm making a programme for the BBC in the UK about how epilepsy is perceived (and misunderstood) in society and how it is actually experienced by those who live with it. Some of it will deal with the tropes of linking epilepsy to possession and how popular culture supports that. I want to speak to people who have first-hand experience of living with the condition, in all its different forms - either if you have an opinion on how the condition is portrayed on screen, or if you've had experience of being treated like you're possessed. So if this sounds interesting, and you're happy to share your stories, please drop me a DM. Thanks! ps. I'm not a Reddit regular (apart from on this forum), so if this post is deemed inappropriate, I'll ofc remove it
